Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross and a bishop's mitre, symbolizing the coin's issuance by the Bishopric of Constance. On the other side, it features the coat of arms of Eberhard II of Waldburg-Thann, who was a powerful nobleman in the region. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of medieval Europe, where the church and nobility often held significant influence.
